How to add your birthday and select who can view it on your profile

You can customize your Twitter profile by adding your birthday. You can control who on Twitter can see your birthday on your profile by using your birthday visibility settings.

Sign in to twitter.com or open your iOS or Android app.

Go to your profile and click or tap the Edit profile button.

Click or tap the Birthday section.

Select or change your birth Day, Month, and Year.

You can also review and change your birthday visibility settings. You will see two visibility settings, one to control visibility for your birthday year and the other to control visibility for your birthday month and day. Click a visibility icon (web) or adjust Who sees this (iOS or Android app) to change your settings. Learn more about your profile visibility settings.

You can remove your birthday from your profile by following the below steps:

Sign into twitter.com or open your iOS or Android app.

Go to your profile and click or tap the Edit profile button.

Click the Birthday section.

Change the values you selected in each of the birthday dropdown menus back to the default values (e.g., “Day," “Month," and “Year”) (web) or tap Remove birthday (iOS or Android app). Note: to remove your birthday from your profile on the web, you will need to remove your information from all three of the birthday fields.
